I am sure by now, most of you heard the news that is buzzing all over the Internet. Carol Bartz Joins Yahoo as Chief Executive Officer is the headline of the Yahoo press release. Here is her impressive bio:

Susan Decker is out after a transitionary period. Greg Sterling has more on the news at Search Engine Land.

Yahoo’s stock is up 1.74% in pre-market, but I think people are not sure what to do with the news. I think most like the decision, but they think it will be almost impossible to pull Yahoo out of this mess. Many are still hoping for a Microsoft deal, which was shot down time and time again by Jerry Yang. Jerry Yang will step down from his role as the CEO, which he announced a while back. Yang took the role of CEO in June 2007, and I think it is clear that he didn’t do all that well.

Good luck to Bartz and Yahoo, I would hate to see such a nice company fail.
